Chapter 25, Problem 64PE
Consider a 250-W heat lamp fixed to the ceiling in a bathroom. If the filament in one light burns out then the remaining three still work. Construct a problem in which you determine the resistance of each filament in order to obtain a certain intensity projected on the bathroom floor. The ceiling is 3.0 m high. The problem will need to involve concave miners behind the filaments. Your instructor may wish to guide you on the level of complexity to consider in the electrical components.

Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is focused to a very small-diameter spot. Because small particles are attracted to regions of high light intensity, the focused beam can be used to “grab” onto particles and manipulate them for various experiments. In one experiment, a 10 mW laser beam is focused to a spot that has a diameter of 0.62 μm.a. What is the intensity of the light in this spot?b. What is the amplitude of the electric field?

You might have seen examples of his work in the amazing shots of hummingbirds in motion, a drop of milk splattering on a table, or a bullet penetrating an apple . To stop the motion and capture these pictures, one needs a high-intensity, very short pulsed flash, as mentioned earlier in this module. Suppose one wished to capture the picture of a bullet (moving at 5.0×102 m/s ) that was passing through an apple. The duration of the flash is related to the RC time constant, τ . What size capacitor would one need in the RC circuit to succeed, if the resistance of the flash tube was 10.0 Ω ? Assume the apple is a sphere with a diameter of 8.0×10–2 m.arrow_forward
